Embodiment Construction

[0024] Exemplary embodiments of the interbody implant system and methods of use thereof disclosed herein are in terms of medical devices for the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders, and more particularly in terms of adaptive interbody implant systems Discuss wording and related methods used to treat the spine. It is contemplated that the implant system may include an adaptive interbody implant that is deformable to contact the endplate surface of a vertebra and reduce subsidence of the implant and extrusion from the intervertebral disc space.

[0025] In one embodiment, the interbody implant deforms due to axial loading and allows increased contact with the endplate surface(s). It is envisaged that the implant has viscoelasticity to self-adjust, eg, deformed configuration, according to the patient's weight. It is also contemplated that the implant is configured to have adjustability, flexibility, deformability, strength and / or stiffness to avoid subsidence or extrusion fro...

Abstract

An intervertebral fusion implant comprises a body defining a longitudinal axis and extending between a first end and a second end. The body defines a first wall configured for engaging a first vertebral surface and a second wall configured for engaging a second vertebral surface. The first wall is connected to the second wall. The first wall is movable relative to the second wall such that the body is deformable from a first, initial implanted configuration such that the body is disposed between the first vertebral surface and the second vertebral surface for fixation thereof and a second configuration such that the body is deformed relative to the first configuration to adapt to an orientation of the first vertebral surface and the second vertebral surface. Methods of use are disclosed.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates generally to medical devices, systems and methods for treating musculoskeletal disorders, and more particularly to adaptive interbody implant systems and methods for treating the spine. Background technique [0002] Disorders of the spine such as scoliosis and other curvature abnormalities, kyphosis, degenerative disc disease, herniated discs, osteoporosis, spondylolisthesis, stenosis, tumors and fractures can result from injuries and aging including trauma, disease and degeneration Factors of STDs. Disorders of the spine often result in symptoms including pain, nerve damage, and partial or complete loss of mobility. For example, after a disc collapse, some pain and discomfort can occur due to the pressure put on the nerves and spine. [0003] Nonsurgical treatments such as medications, rehabilitation, and exercise may be effective but may not relieve symptoms associated with these disorders. Surgical treatments for th...
